No, I haven't. I have a few ideas for the build but just been busy. Work on new characters when online. The few changes didn't really make me happy. It sat unchanged and it fell by the wayside. Easiest change would be to drop CJ and Slowed Response for SS and BO. Replace the BU proc in Enforcers with a LotG 7.5%. Dropping CJ, Slowed Response and the Mace Mastery PP for SS, BO, Bonfire and Char. Use Clarion Radial to compensate losing PB. Skip the Epic/Ancillary PP completely because I want to keep Slowed Response. It will lose one or two +7.5% recharge bonus if I go this way. Play around with it. I'm sure you will come up with something that works.

Pretty close to capping S/L/F/C/N/P resists if Cardiac or Resilience Alpha is taken. Also L/M will be at softcap def if Divine Avalanche is used every 10ish seconds. Add it regularly to an attack rotation. Use the Set Bonus Finder to help find what's needed. Definitely add the ATO2 unique. Be wiling to use IO Boosters to help get there. Be willing to compromise to get the more important stats higher/capped. Dark Regeneration benefits from accuracy. Added Resilient Core, Activated Divine Av, and switched a few IOs around.

I remember back during live, an SG teammate used to Power Thrust enemies off rooftops, quickly TP Foe them back to his feet, and proceed PT them off again. It was hilarious and I had to recreate it on Beta! Range Boost and other bonuses to increase range are a must.

Haven't tried it but I think the Beast/Sonic combo would be pretty legit. Bursts of brilliance when Lion's Roar activates for +6% def (unenhanced, x2 Lions) but they last for 15s with a 60s CD. Pet's def will be at around +26% M/R and +41% AoE without Lion's Roar. That includes pet inherent def + pet unique IOs + heavily slotted Maneuvers. Only half the pets (Lions and Alpha Wolf) get Lick Wounds to heal themselves on a 60s CD. Dire Wolf has a heal on a 120s CD. Two T1 wolves have no self heal. Their resists will be spectacular. Capped at +90% to S/L/C. Around +75% to F/E/N/T and +35% to P. That's with the pet inherent + IO unique auras + heavily slotted Sonic Barrier/Haven/Dispersion. I sort of want to recommend Thermal instead of Sonic. Less resists but heals in a more controlled/timely manner. But regardless you can probably make Beast/Sonic work well.

Not sure, I do not have a WP Brute. Haven't played WP since live and that was on a Scrapper. HP is probably on the low side. High Pain Tolerance doesn't boost HP as much as Regen's Dull Pain. I had a regen Brute with capped HP during live but he didn't have the +def/res numbers your build has.

@High_Beam and maybe a few other people had this issue early when i27.5 was released. I tested it and it seemed to work fine for me. I'm not sure what causes it or if anything was done to fix it.

It's not a lot of defense but it's pretty decent if controlling pets to stay at range. Base value of Tactical Upgrade at 50 is: Melee - +0% Range - +6.22% AoE - +3.73% Slotting Tactical Upgrade moderately would provide around: Melee - +0% Range - +9.59% AoE - +5.75% With slotted upgrade + pet unique auras + slotted Maneuvers, Merc pets would be at around: Melee - +14% Range - +23.59% AoE - +34.75%

Few things to consider: Health has a higher base regen than Physical Perfection. 40% VS 20%. Putting the Numina IOs into Health will provide a higher amount of regen for your build. Build is missing the Reactive Defense scaling damage resist unique. It provides a +3% res to all damage types and scales up to +13% when down to 1% HP. Something like +1% res for every -10% HP. Can double up the +5% S/L def from the Superior Brute's Fury ATO if they're split in two. 3 and 3. Full sets of Superior Winter's Bite and Superior Blistering Cold will pretty much get F/C/E/N to softcap. Your Willpower build is pretty unique that it can slot Power Transfer procs in Stamina, Quick Recovery, Physical Perfection and Superior Conditioning. Also jam in a Panacea unique. It will equate to a lot of passive heals. Performance Shifters would do similar for the endurance side. Tossed together a quick WP Brute build and slotted 4 Power Transfers and a Panacea. In one minute (21:50), they healed for 1692.94 hp, average 28.22 hp/s. Next minute (21:51), they healed for 1607.60 hp, average 26.79 hp/s. I know heals is probably the least of your worries on a WP but I think it could still be added on top of softcap S/L/F/C/E/N def and +90% S/L res.

Yes. Pick the hero/villain you would like to move, click the Server Transfer button on the Character Select screen (Pictured below). After acknowledging the warning, the list of the other servers will popup. If I remember correctly, we get 5 server transfer tokens every 3 days but it may have changed.

Don't delete them. Drag and drop the unused character to the last page of the character selection screen. Or perform a server transfer to one rarely played. Just so they're out of sight; out of mind.

This or something similar happened to me awhile ago. Is it the keymapping file you're talking about? I ended up redoing my keybinds and either, "Save to File" or "Save as Default," just so that it's the same for all future characters I create. Might want to post it in the Bugs or Help/Support channel. Even if it's happening on your MM, it may not necessarily be isolated to the MM AT. I remember the issue I described happening on my newly created Staff/Stone Stalker.

I have a potato computer! Been using the same comp since 2003. If I could mod my Atari 600 to play CoH, I totally would.

I don't know what I was thinking when testing Aegis but looking at it now, it doesn't seem to work on the pets at all in the upgrade. Both psionic or the status resistance portions do nothing for them.

Retested without Support Core Hybrid and pet end is slightly worse than before but still pretty solid. Slotted with two +3 heal/end HOs and +33% end in Zombies, 5 mins of nonstop attack, and pets did not drop below 70% end. Also tested with only Pancea + Numina uniques and it's enough to sustain all pet's end. Pets did not drop below 85% after attacking for 5 mins straight. Also tested Numina and Panacea individually. They are both good enough for the Lich and Grave Knights but neither are enough for the Zombies. Slot one of them and +33% end in T1 and call it a day.

If I remember correctly: A - +Max hp will only apply to the MM 15 - Buffs Enchant Undead +res % 17 - +3% def only apply to the MM 17 - Buffs Enchant Undead +res %; +3% def only apply to the MM 19 - +Psionic/Status res apply to the MM; only the +Status res apply to the pets 19 - +Status res/Regen apply to the MM; only the +Regen apply to the pets.

Haha! It's just an endurance test for Necro pets. To see how much slotting they need to sustain their end consumption. Lich and Grave Knights needed 0 end redux if two heal/end HO's are slotted in Dark Empowerment. Zombies needed the two HO's and around +30% end redux slotted on them. The only thing the video really shows is the pet/Dark Empowerment slotting and the pet's blue bar. Zombies endurance was still dropping with two HO's, and I ended up slotting a SMoS dam/end IO on them. That seemed to fix it. I kept having to dismiss and resummon Zombies with each change otherwise the newly slotted IO/HO's wouldn't affect them. The test was originally just for the Lich. Wanted to eliminate as much end redux as possible in favor of acc, dam and mez HO slotting. It just turned out it could all be removed thanks to Dark Empowerment. BUT now that I'm seeing the video again, I had Support Core Hybrid slotted. It provides a passive end discount that likely applies to pets. I might have to retest.

I think it was two +3 HOs was good enough for Grave Knights and Lich. Zombies need an additional +30ish% end slotted on them. Video shows the slotting changes throughout and pets attacking nonstop for 20ish minutes. Can probably go with none if using Numina and Panacea uniques in Dark Empowerment.

Does slotting recharge matter for the Guile proc? The superior version has a 5ppm rate. I use a 12 second long attack chain, with AS being used every 6ish secs (60 secs/5ppm = 12 secs). Seems like every second AS triggers the proc 100% of the time. I remember testing a 10 sec long attack chain and the proc rate was more random, less reliable. Here's my StJ pylon run. Have it set up so that Guile procs just before Crushing Uppercut, every 12 secs, and it crits every time. AS has +78.55% recharge slotted in it. The normal Guile version has a 4ppm, guess it should trigger the initial activation and every 15 seconds after.

Stone Armor is a great all rounder. Pretty easy to softcap to S/L/E/N/P with some DDR. Good resists VS F/C/T. Easy to cap HP, high regen. Go the Superior Conditioning/Physical Perfection route and can probably get an equivalent to 65 hp/s regeneration. Good status protection. Staff doesn't really need Hasten to run a top attack chain (PS-MB-AS-SR-repeat). Hasten doesn't benefit Stone Armor much. A Hastenless Staff/SA build is totally viable. SA's main drawback is the clunky costume pieces. Also Guarded Spin would benefit a resist secondary more but wouldn't make it any less fun.

I made a DP/Nin/Nin Sentinel awhile ago. On the tv show Ninja Warrior, there's a contestant with the nickname Cowboy Ninja. So made a character with that concept. Pretty fun with Combat Teleport to get in and out of melee range. Pretty fun!

I had a build with a similar concept during live. Had a couple builds for it. Softcap to S/L and a +32.5% to S/L/E. Built for +recharge to dump out as many Gun Drones as possible. Hasten, Burnout, Spiritual/Agility Alpha and Ageless Destiny. Often get 3 GD at the same time, when Burnout is used, get 4. Though they only overlap for 10s or so. Extra pet summon from the Ancillary/Epic pool.

Farsight has a much higher +def base value than Maneuvers. +9.38% def VS +2.63% def. The way they're currently slotted, Farsight provides +12.36% and Maneuvers +4.27%, added together = +16.63%. If the IOs were swapped around so that Farsight had the higher stat increases, FS would have around +14.72% and Maneuvers +4.05%. Added together = +18.77%. An increase of +2.14% def for MM and pets. End/def/tohit HO is really good for FS if you want to invest less slots into it. Unfortunately they cost an arm and a leg. The Gaussian BU proc is probably bad in Farsight. It would be better in a toggle so it has a chance to proc every 10 seconds. Since Farsight is a click power, it would only have a chance to activate every 2ish mins when FS is used. Chased a lot of S/L +resist bonuses. The Prestige Sprint powers can all slot Celerity for +2.25% S/L res. Not saying it's better to do that but if it helps free up some slotting, something worth considering. Chased S/L res so much that I kind of want to say drop CJ + 1 other power and take the Fighting PP for Box/Kick and Tough. Tough will provide a good amount of S/L res and CJ isn't really needed since you will still be at S/L/E softcap. Also the build is missing the Gladiator Armor unique. I typically only run with 4 KB protection and in most cases, it feels fine. Especially if you're flying all the time. Just sort of spin around in mid-air, recovering quickly. Regardless, good job. Glad you're enjoying MMs!

Looks good. Few things: The Unbreakable Constraint proc isn't great on the Demon Prince. Proc for proc, it does do more damage than Impeded Swiftness but only one power can activate it. DP's only power that can trigger UC is Block of Ice, while every single one of his attacks have a slow effect and can trigger Impeded and Ice Mistral. I did a 2 min proc test for Demon Prince a couple months ago VS a pylon. Results: -Impeded Swiftness proc triggered 25 times in 2 mins for 57.39 dam each = 1434.75 damage. -Ice Mistral proc triggered 31 times in 2 mins for 57.39 dam each = 1779.09 damage. -Unbreakable Constraint triggered 7 times in 2 mins for 85.66 dam each = 599.62 damage. Tested on a single target and BoI is a ST attack. DP has 1 cone and 2 PBAoE attacks so Impeded/Mistral have a chance to proc even more than what is shown above when fighting multiple targets. Farsight can equip +tohit IOs. Something to consider since there's no Tactics from the Leadership PP in the build. I recommend taking Maneuvers. Slotted it will add about +4% def for you and pets. PB+FS will provide your pets 21.44% def + 10% Edict/CtA + 4% Maneuvers = +35.44% def. They would have equivalent softcap VS enemies debuffed by Time's Juncture's -tohit. But I guess even without Maneuvers, they'll still be really close. Power Boost doesn't really need the second slot. It's main use is to just buff Farsight. FS has a duration of 2 minutes so even with no slots, PB will be recharged and ready in time. Can get closer to E/N softcap by slotting Corruption with Thunderstrike. Energy damage is pretty frequent late game. It's useful to have E/N defense higher. Regardless, great build! I'm sure it will take you far. And don't worry about the extra recharge. It will help get HoE out quicker.

This is the Demon pet slotting I would roll with. It makes use of all the uniques and manages to squeeze in some procs. Adds +40% recharge to the build. It's meant to be used with Musculature Radial/Core or Intuition Radial Alpha equipped. | Copy & Paste this data into Mids Reborn : Hero Designer to view the build | |-------------------------------------------------------------------| |MxDz;886;392;784;HEX;| |78DA9D91494BC35010C7A76DAA686AE9AAA5EAC18B420F8182EB4DEC02420305F75| |3896D9A3E4893D2A4D27E140FEACD6FE206FA21F4E6C10597739CE6A5F635100F0E| |BCE43FBF99CCFC7911BBF9D0C37D69137C919C2A194645940C536E3789560B8A924| |2AA01C018C7B330AC54763ACDA6AE0979199F4E42346596E9D8EAD4EB42516F57E5| |4A91C86A0DA2655D57856DED8418E498A8C4EC256C52E8B6E43669CA9A299944D7A| |66C58244AC3C4893CCDD47E1A2FB44855C835A4B6223B2E7B29F4B588E734026C58| |41804F7C6727C00F614CB21C8A7DCE161C3C061C91F3DB620C8E68C9FA33CE7009E| |F6396F0832521D8A30342F08C648983307C834DC270484B1198C16FE7D925E73830| |CA0E8CC293DFEE89C117B516836B6A36013703714B451AEE0243D717382BC9DE401| |276E9E269B80A38E2837A4AC101E7884BEA293DB825EB7F31C78DDE7FFF6040C983| |8B2E6E9511F8D8461F6D7C9904B6F03BE0CD83BF7AF0770FBE9C711959718355375| |843C0B360DD0D3632A3FFC22AC5F17299EDD60FA73EFD43| |-------------------------------------------------------------------|

Tested with Necro on Beta, Dark Empowerment, Spiritual Alpha/Vigor Alpha Core and Rebirth Core. HP cap for T1 = 862.43 hp, T2 = 1153.24 hp, T3 = 1445.71 hp. Data recorded with each step of testing: Adding an Alpha incarnate didn't increase the pet's hps beyond what Rebirth+Dark Empowerment gave them. So I assume they are at cap.
